Underwhelmed

I hate to write anything “negative” about any all vegan establishment but want to share my honest constructive feedback. I ordered what was listed as two of the most popular dishes: Philly Supreme Cheesesteak Sandwich & Cheeseburger Quesadilla

I started with the quesadilla and instantly could tell it was made with beyond meat crumbles (which I get) but personally always ideally prefer something less processed/original or homemade when ordering from a vegan restaurant. I personally have a bad past with beyond meat and therefore couldn’t get myself to finish the quesadilla /:

I was excited to try the Philly sando. It looked and smelled great but again upon my first bite it tasted the same as the quesadilla in sense of beyond meat & processed cheese. To me it tasted far over seasoned and too salty for my liking. Again, couldn’t truly eat it.

I have good feeling that other non pho meat items I would enjoy far more. I plan on giving it a second go eventually

Wow. Wow. Wow.

I'm a vegan touring musician, which can sometimes be a little bit difficult. But places like Philly Vegan make it worth it for when I find a spot that has everything I could hope for. I got the supreme cheese steak sandwich and an order of the apple pie egg rolls. Holy cow. Easily one of the best cheese steak sandwiches I've ever had.l, vegan or otherwise. And the apple pie egg rolls? Dipping them in the I closed cinnamon sugar compote created one of the best desserts I've ever had on the road. Thank you, Philly Vegan!

Pros: Food, Price

Unimpressive vegan fare - carry out/delivery only.

First time visiting Philly Vegan. The portions are HUGE- easily enough for two. I had the classic Philly sandwich with everything, but it didn’t seem to have any green peppers. I also tried the onion rings. Both items were edible, but under-seasoned, and the rings were a bit brown (but not burned). I was disappointed in the taste and won’t visit this restaurant again.

Pros: Ease of ordering

Cons: No tables: pick up or delivery only, Under-seasoned , Overcooked.

Depends on the day

I do like the options yet, but probably not the best. If you have cardio concerns, somedays the food is very salty. Others are good.

Good, not great.

I've been here a few times. I live very close, and it was pretty much the only vegan take out in the whole area until recently.
The food is good not great. I see what they are going for here with the whole vegan junk food angle. This is not that I and I vegan place where everything is alive and full of healthy enzymes and vitamins. This is that place you eat at once in a while only as an indulgence.
The philly is a huge gut bomb. It was pretty good, but I was kind of bummed at the ratio of peppers/onions/mushrooms to fake meat. I've gotten vegetarian Phillies at many other places. Some even in Philadelphia itself. And the veggies usually make up a larger ratio of the sandwich. That can be a plus though. I'm sure fake meat costs more than onions!
Their vegan burgers are pretty good. It seems like they went out of their way to pick the right ingredients to make a good sandwich with that one. The bun, condiments, burger etc are all just right.
Fries here are mixed bag. They are really good when you get a good one. But every time I go here I walk away with a container that seems almost half full with little hard pieces of almost-fries.
Also the service is exceptionally rude. They demand you inspect your order than sign a little piece of paper to prove you witnessed your order was right.
I dont know if they are getting scammed on Grubhub or something but its not my fault. If I do go back here I'm going to take apart my sandwich on the counter and take photos. Then ask them to sign off on those. That is how weird it feels.

Pros: burgers, fries

Cons: rude staff, fries, prices

Amazing food, wonderful people

LOVE the food here. It has so much flavor! The owners and employees are wonderful, as well. They often do "pay what you can" days to feed the community. Try the Philly cheesesteak fries!

Pros: Delicious food, Good portions, Community focused

Not sure what’s going on here

The first few times I tried this place, I really liked it. Over the years though, it seems to get worse. I usually get the philly with everything. It comes with some kind of fake meat- not sure what kind- mushrooms, peppers, onions, and cheese sauce. They usually put some seasoning on top but I get it without that bc I watch my sodium intake. I like how you can get the fries without seasoning too, for the sodium reason. A lot of times I eat half and save the other half for later - either later in the day or the next day. Somehow it just tastes really bad as leftovers so I would advise against that. But this time, yesterday, I tried the filling of the philly, alone , it had no cheese or mayo on it, and it just did not taste good. The fries are also not that great, I know a previous time, it seemed like the oil was old. Also, I tried the peanut butter blondie milkshake for the first time, and it had a very off taste, I didn’t have more than 2 sips. Maybe it’s the ice cream they use? Just something off.

Pros: portion sizes

Cons: just doesn’t taste the best

Oh my yummness

I haven’t had a Philly cheesesteak in a long time. So to find a vegan one here in my home state. The people here were so friendly & welcoming. I would definitely recommend whether you’re vegan or not.

Pros: Fully vegan , Black owned small business , In house made ice cream for their shakes

Okay, this is THE best vegan sandwich I’ve ever had. Still haven’t found something that’s topped it. Highly recommend trying the oh rings and the double lentil burger!

Delicious!

I have only been vegan 2 weeks and are decided to check out this establishment due to the five-star reviews and I definitely found out why they have five star reviews. The customer service was incredible and the food was even more incredible. If this is what all vegan food tastes like, I will never have another reason to eat a piece of meat. I am definitely looking forward to trying everything else on the menu and continuing on my journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Pros: Fast service , Absolutely Delicious , Great customer service

Hole in the wall with really good food

The full-sized Philly sandwich is ginormous and nearly impossible to actually pick up and eat without needing a change of clothes afterwards, but it is so damn good! I was in a food coma the entire rest of the day.

Pros: Generous portions

Cons: Takeout only , Street parking

Completely vegan menu

Local place with a very authentic menu. Line was reasonable and food was prepared in about 10 minutes. Most of the customers were local and the staff seem to recognize everybody by name.

Pros: Authentic Philly food, People are very friendly, Restaurant is clean

Great comfort food

Got the Philly sampler. Pretty sure I recognized Beyond as the meat they used so if you like that taste then this place is for you. Very well seasoned, I could have been happy just eating those peppers and onions alone. Everything was well covered in a nice cheesy sauce. So amazing

So stinkin’ good!

Literally. The magical scents emanating from Philly Vegan waft for blocks. We got the supreme cheesesteak, onion rings with cheese sauce, chhuy burger, and roll sampler. The philly was perfect down to the grilled hoagie. Great flavor, ratio of components…all the things! The cook on the burger was 👌 Portions were generous. Can’t say enough good things.

Pros: Perfectly seasoned everything, Great textures , Generous portions

We loved it!

Yes, the menu is small. The place is called Philly Vegan. You should expect to get a philly cheesesteak here and really enjoy it. And you will—it’s perfectly delicious, very filling, and the staff are SO kind. The food, despite being in to-go containers and being street food, is presented beautifully. Everything on this menu tastes good. The only thing I personally didn’t care for was the milkshake, but I am a milkshake snob.

Pros: All vegan, Extremely flavorful, Kind staff

Secret Spice

Mmm… we acquired some Philly Sliders, a Philly Cheesesteak, & 2 Milkshakes with Fries… the flavor was awesome! The red spice blend added on top deliciously compliments the mushrooms, house cheese sauce, and (I believe) seitan filling… for me the mushrooms were an awesome add to the sandwich, and the milkshakes were some of the best I’ve had in awhile. Strawberry & Cookies n’ Cream.

I definitely recommend this for takeout.

Pros: Fully Vegan, Delicious Creations

Cons: ‘Mandatory’ Masks, Limited to No seating
